Title: Cats, Cats, Cats
Author: Leslea Newman
Illustrator: Erika Oller
Age Range: Baby - 4
|
A tiny old woman named Mrs. Brown lives in a big house on the
edge of town with no one but cats, cats, cats to keep her company.
All day long, as Mrs. Brown goes about her business, the cats
snooze away. But as soon as she puts down their 60 bowls of cat
food and marches herself up to bed, the cats go wild. Cats throwing
confetti, eating spaghetti, chasing their tales, cutting a rug,
doing the fox trot and the jitterbug, these feisty felines "whoop
it up until the dawn." The ever-tolerant Mrs. Brown wakes
every morning to a complete mess, but simply sweeps her beloved
cats into a heap so they can get their beauty sleep. Although
some consider Mrs. Brown to be a little batty, she scoffs at the
thought. "Oh fiddle dee dee! / I love my cats and they love
me."
Lesléa Newman's amusing cat romp is perfectly paired with
Erika Oller's playful watercolors of dozens upon dozens of snoozing
and frolicking felines.
